As I'm sure you're all aware, for certain reasons I'll be leaving GC early. HOWEVER, good news for those of you staying to the end! I have 10 (maybe one or two more if I feel like giving away slightly lower levelled cards) lvl60/70 5*s to giveaway, the majority of which are HS/FS in at least the necessary stats.

RULES:

- Absolutely ANYONE can enter
- No edited answers
- No answers with blue lines (any edited or blue line answers will be ignored by me)
- Multiple guesses are allowed but you must have at least one person (not including myself) post after your previous guess for it to count. Otherwise, I'll ignore that answer.
- One guess per post only. Posts with multiple guesses will be ignored
- You MUST post your IGN in your post. Posts without this will not be accepted, regardless of correctness of answer, even if your IGN is in your signature
- A user can win any number of times, but no more than 2 in a row. If you happen to win two in a row, any answer you give for the next question will be ignored. Feel free to give the question after that a go, it's simply to allow even a little fairness in. Do note that side prizes do not count towards this limit.

I will ask a question. The question will have only one correct answer. The person who gives me the correct answer (the one I'm looking for, which will almost always be the technically correct answer) first will receive the prize.

FS means within 100 points of maximum.

Please note that some of the cards are coli bound. Use them next week!

Mahler originally scored for 3 hammer blows in the final movement of that symphony. After the symphony's premiere, he revised the score and in doing so, omitted the third and final hammer blow.
In regards to NoWun's 5, there were indeed two further markings for a percussion instrument (which we can infer to be hammer blows) which Mahler got rid of before the premiere. However, these two moments did not explicitly ask for a hammer blow, unlike the other original 3 markings.
